With support for the war in Iraq
severely waning and a new democratic legislature in power, the stories that we
hear from Washington
and in the media might be different ones this year than they have been for the
last few. We talk to to author and Fordham professor Robin Anderson about the
stories we've been telling about this war, and the stories we tell about
others. Her new book is "A Century of Media, A Century of War."

With the end of the year approaching, and with it about a million lists
of the superlatives of 2006, we'll hear from the former publisher of
another superlative--The Nation, America's oldest weekly magazine. He's
written a memoir of his time at The Nation. Also, a few of our favorite
things. --Aired 12/23/2006

Sure, their show's been running longer than any TV sitcom
ever has. But that's not the only reason the Simpsons might be the most
successful family ever to wrap things up in 23 minutes or less. We talk to
Fordham communication and media studies professor Jonathan Gray about the
Simpsons and how they've managed to change the way that people all over the
world look at TV, and America. --Aired 1/6/2007

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
was a huge blockbuster and introduced many to CS Lewis as a writer of adventure
stories. But an off-off-broadway production is taking a stab at some of Lewis'
less child-friendly work. We talk to Magis artistic director, Fordham
artist-in-residence, and Jesuit Priest, George Drance. --Aired 1/13/2007
